The North Building is expected to open in May while the larger Central and South Buildings (near M2 and M4) will open in mid-June. After new buildings are open the current M4 and M6 restroom buildings will be removed, and the site-wide paving and asphalt overlay work is scheduled to be completed by July. Read more here.
Several local restaurants are open for takeout only during this CoVid19 closure. Please patronize them so they will be here for us when this is over…

Yesterday we rethought the whole web based matchup of volunteers with those who will need help. We think this could be a bad choice for our specific community.
> That system is being used by other Hubs, with success although none of those communities are like this one.
> I am happy to say that we do have a simple and straightforward way to accomplish our plan to help those in need.
> If you are in need of assistance call:
>
> Kristen Sierra 206-890–5756
> Or
> Teddie Ellrod 253-350-7829
>
> We will then contact one or more of our Volunteers to lend a helping
> hand.
>
> The volunteers will then let us know how it went. We will add the person to our daily log of people to contact. Daily calls will be made by either Teddie or I.
>
> Problems will be handled by our project team.

The Shilshole M
arina Networked Emergency Hub participates in scheduled training and drills with other Hubs and their community members. Hub Captains meet monthly to organize and prepare their volunteers and community participants for emergency preparedness.
The restrictions on the use of copper-based antifouling paint on recreational vessels have been delayed until January 1, 2026.
Senate Bill 6210 has just passed the House and Senate and is on the Governor’s desk to sign. The WA. St. Dept. of Ecology has recommended delaying the antifouling paint restrictions to allow time for further study, due to concerns some non-copper alternatives might be more harmful to the environment than the copper-based paints they replace.
